If you can't wear provactive slogans on your underwear then where else can you put them?

www.nowebsite.com

I work for a technology company when I'm not making underwear so I understand completely how critical it is to have a compelling website. I even know how google add words work . This knowledge is mainly theoretical because like many online things, it looks simple but the reality is more complicated and so unless you have an account manager at google and are willing to spend some money, it is hard to be a big-business success. So what qualifies as a big business web success, Skype suddenly stopping to work, or actually putting paypal into the back end of your site hosted on Yahoo? Yes I am bitching about the biggest web companies in the world, I respect them, they do a great job, they set the bar high but they sure don't make it easy for people like me.

So why don't I have a website yet? Well, while I definitely know what is possible my budget is limited. You want to have a site that looks good, simple, clean and well programmed. I had fantasies of a site like this one (I salute you guys, you got it 100% right, clever branding, bringing the hand made to the web and a mention on techcrunch, now that's my idea of success) but guess what? You need to have an angel round or some money in the bank to even get close. Any interested parties out there? I'll exchange ownership for money, or free knickers for design and programming.

So what does jewButt have? We have an idea that kicks butt. Every single time I show this product to someone in my target market they giggle - that's a good sign.

First of all to give thanks where they are due: Thank you Jeremy for your hard work on jewButt.com despite everything especially my completely unrealistic expectations and thank you Ronen for saving my paypal Butt. Most importantly, thank you every body else for giggling because I've got a long way to go and without your laughter, it's unlikely to happen.

When will the site actually go live? Good question hopefully by Sunday morning Israel time. Criticisms please give them cautiously, I'm likely to implode, investors feel free to e-mail.

It’s time to think about what you should be wearing that nobody sees (unless you really want them to). jewButt is a range of lounge wear and underwear with Jewish themes. What’s not to love? We’re cute, cheeky (literally) and the packaging is awesome. PS jewButt is proud to donate 10% of our profits to the Jerusalem Rape Crisis Center.
